Midweek Reminders to Self of Recent Adventures

Bip puts eyes on the goal

Usually means you are at the top, or at least, pretty darn high

And there's a fence. And antennas. Excessive explanation.

That's Humphreys Peak in the distance in the background, high point in Arizona, 12,637 feet. Interesting hike up there. I feel like I should post a picture, even though it's been a few years since the last time I was up there.

From a hike up Humphreys Peak a few years ago. Ran into some weather up there. Took excellent rain gear, though, so no problemo.

Wednesday reminders. I need some. Wait, what day is it? Get up. Go ride.

BlueCat I learned up there that lightning freezing rain and hail can come up suddenly and make your hike colder, wetter and more dramatic.

Rat Trap Press, agreed. I went over them different ways on these rides, including walking. This style of guard in the photo had wide openings that made walking harder than it looks. In the end I preferred to ride straight across at a medium speed. I think you could walk on that board on the side, though.

Let's Just Ride

I commute by bicycle in Phoenix, Arizona, a metropolis suited to riding bicycles of all types, with weather, mountains, roads, canals, and paths to keep me forever spinning. My favorite bike tools are an open mind, creative engagement, curiosity, compassion, common ground, and the search for knowledge.
